JRF Inclusive Growth Monitor Indicators: Calderdale results compared with “Best Borough in the North” authorities and Leeds City Region

Performance and Business Intelligence Team Calderdale Council Email: performance.businessintelligence@calderdale.gov.uk An Inclusive Economy – what is it?

The OECD defines Inclusive Growth as “economic growth that creates opportunity for all segments of the population and distributes the dividends of increased prosperity, both in monetary and non-monetary terms, fairly across society.”

An inclusive economy takes that concept a stage further because it means creating a more sustainable and inclusive society that aims at including all members of society in the growth process itself instead of distributing wealth among them after periods of steep growth.

Nationally, there is a productivity gap, with the North lagging behind London and the South-East. Even within our own region, the inequality gap between richest and poorest continues to widen. Developing inclusive economic strategies aims to reverse that trend.

In West Yorkshire, the Combined Authority set up an Inclusive Growth and Public Policy Panel made up of senior Councillors, business people and academics, supported by a Core Team of officers from across the region, and in Calderdale we have developed our own Inclusive Economic Strategy.

The Joseph Rowntree Foundation have identified a list of 18 Inclusive Growth Monitor Indicators which they feel will provide a good benchmark of how an area is performing. The attached data pack looks at each of those datasets in turn and compares Calderdale with the Leeds City Region average. | Theme | Topic | Indicator | Full Description of Indicator | Leeds City Region Rank\* (out of 10 unless stated; 1 = best) | Best Borough in the North Rank # (out of 20 unless stated; 1 = best) | |---------------|----------------|------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------| | Inclusion | Income | Out of work benefits | Percentage of working-age population receiving out-of-work benefits | 7 | 5 | | | | In work tax credits | Percentage in-work households with and without children receiving Child and/or Working Tax Credits | Not available | Not available | | | | Low earnings | 20th percentile of gross weekly earnings (Twenty per cent of full-time workers receive earnings equal to or below this threshold) | 7 | 10 | | Living Costs | | Housing affordability | Ratio of lower quartile house price to lower quartile earnings | 3 | 10 | | | | Housing costs | Median monthly rents for private sector two bedroom properties | Joint 6th | Joint 16th | | | | Fuel Poverty | Percentage of households classed as being 'fuel poor' (using Low Income-High Costs model) | Joint 6th | Joint 9th | | Labour Market Exclusion | Unemployment | Unemployment | Percentage of working-age population not in employment but actively seeking and available to start work | 3 | 6 | | | | Economic inactivity | Percentage of working-age population who are economically inactive | 3 | 3 | | | | Workless households | Percentage of working age households with no one in work | 6 | 3 |
